1.Comparison between clinical and histopathological features of ruptured ovarian cysts
Journal of Practical Medicine 2002;435(11):37-41
The purpose of this study is to examine the histopathological findings of ruptured ovarian cysts and to compare them with clinical symptoms. In general, this condition has been misdiagnosed with appendicitis (54.6%) or with ruptured ectopic pregnancy (18.2%). During 5 years from January 1, 1994 to December 31, 1998, 182 samples of ovarian cystomas were referred to ViÖt §øc Hospital for histopathological study. Among these, 36 cysts were ruptured. 69.4% of the ruptures occurred in patients aged from 15 to 35 years. More than half (58.3%) were found in the right ovary. The most common histological types were ruptures of the cystic corpus luteum (61.1%) and secondary ruptures of the Grafian follicles (16.7%). The commonest complication was intraperitoneal hemorrhage - an indication for emergency laparotomy in clinical. The amount of blood found in peritoneum was largely insignificant, with 50 - 500 ml in 95% of patients.

2.The value of ultrasound in diagnosis of ovarian cancer
Journal of Medical and Pharmaceutical Information 2004;0(9):30-33
100 patients with ovarian cancer which were indicated of surgery at Tu Du Hospital from the year 2002 to 2004. The ultrasound scan results were compared with the anatonic pathology showed that ultrasound scan was a useful method in diagnosis and screening test for ovarian cancer. Especially the sensitivity and specificity of Doppler ultrasound were approximately 80%. Doppler ultrasound was the best method for diagnosis combination with the results of CA 125 in predicting the healthy and acute level of ovarian cancer

3.Ovarian cancer: pathological characteristics
Journal Ho Chi Minh Medical 2004;8(2):113-117
Research at Tu du hospital from 1998 to 2004 on 212 ovarian tumors with 48 ovarian cancers, from 16 to 82 years of age. Anapathology result: epithelial tumors (72,91%) are the most common with serious and mucinous cystadenocarcinomas; germ cell tumors (18,75%) had the second rank composed mainly of mixed germ cell tumors, endodermal sinus tumors and immature teratomas. 3 cases of genital stromatic tumor include all granuloma
One case of krukenberg tumors. During the period 1998 to 2000, 50% of ovarian cancers are detected at an early stage I and II. This proportion has increased to 58% in the period from 2002 to 2004

4.The value of ultrasound in diagnosis of ovarian cancer
Journal Ho Chi Minh Medical 2004;8(3):171-175
All patients with ovarian tumors which were indicated for surgery at Tu Du Hospital were underwent ultrasound scan as a routine test. The ultrasound scan results were compared with the pathology results to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasound. There were 100 patients recruited for this study, in which 19 malignant tumors. According to Tokyo University classification, the sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound were 82.4% and 79%, respectively. According to the authors' classification, they were 82.8% and 88%. The sensitivity and specificity of Doppler ultrasound reached optimal value at RI < 0.5 and at PI < 1. Serious carcinoma and mucinous carcinoma had the highest prevalence (52.62%). Ultrasound could be used as a diagnostic and screening test for ovarian cancer

5.Progress in detection and treatment of ovarian cancer at Hung Vuong hospital, from 1993 to 2002
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2004;4(5):259-261
Ovarian tumor remains a challenge for gynecologists globally. The introduction of ultrasound classification system has contributed to the evaluation of tumor nature, and then guided to an appropriate operation procedure. From 1993 to 2002, there were 226 cases of ovarian cancer operated at Hung Vuong hospital, there were included in 2 consecutive periods of without or with routineapplication of preoperative ultrasound classification system. During the second period and as a result preoperative ultrasound was done more systematically, the preoperative diagnosis was more accurate, and the disease was postoperatively staged earlier

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the usefulness of the serum levels of tissue polypeptide specific antigen (TPS) and CA 125 for the diagnosis of epithelial ovarian cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 93 patients were included in this study. Of theses 51 proposed with epithelial ovarian cancer including 27 borderline malignant tumor, while 42 suffered from benign ovarian tumor. The levels of serum CA 125 and TPS was measured retrospectively in all patients using sera collected before surgery. RESULTS: Elevated levels of TPS were detected in 56.9% (29/51) of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and borderline malignancy and in 35.7% (15/42) of patients with benign ovarian tumor. Elevated levels of CA 125 were detected in 45.1% (23/51) of patients with epithelial ovarian cancer and borderline malignancy and in 14.3% (6/42) of patients with benign ovarian tumor. The detection rate for serous cancer was 81.0% (17/21) with TPS, and 71.4% (15/21) with CA 125. In mucinous cancer, the detection rate was 37.5% (9/24) with TPS, and 25.0% (6/24) with CA 125. CONCLUSION: Determination of the level of TPS is useful for detection of epithelial cancer and borderline malignancy especially in mucinous tumor.

CA-125 is an antigenic determinant expressed by more than 80% epithelial ovarian cancer. Although developed for use in the diagnosis and monitoring of epithelial ovarian cancer, elevations of CA-125 concentrations can also be associated with some normal physiologic conditions, various other malignancies and benign conditions. Adnexal cysts are frequently encountered during the reproductive years. 10 to 35% of benign cystic adnexal masses may be an endometrioma. Because endometriomas are not likely to resolve spontaneously, and may enlarge or rupture during period of observation, a test to detect an endometrioma would assist in the evaluation and management of adnexal cysts. Serum CA-125 concentration is seldom >100 U/ml in endometriosis. We reported a patient with endometrioma presenting with a very high CA-125 concentration, which may confuse diagnosis with ovarian cancer.
